I'll actually be meeting them in Nevada for the day, so neutral territory. They make the trip up a couple times a year because they like to gamble. They had planned their trip and then told me when they were going. But I did say to them, "let me know the next time you are going and I'll meet you up there".Quote:

Do it. Do it super early in the morning in the middle of your vacation, but make sure the muckity mucks know that you are interrupting your vacation and make sure you don't make that compromise again.Quote:

Unfortunately, we don't do presentations. I like them. We do document reads and then discuss. Occasionally, we will have a PPT handy that more visually covers the same material, but it depends on the leader. Some are known to prefer PPT but follow the company line of doing the document read first. I hate writing. It is painful for me. Given enough time, I can produce high quality written documents, at least as judged by the CEO of a Fortune 100 company. But in these scenarios, there isn't enough time...
Hey, perfect opportunity to let the AI do some work for you...Quote:

Have you discussed the situation with your immediate manager/supervisor/boss and received their feedback?Quote:

Highly recommended. My last career change I was in a position to take about a year. Was very good for me and my marriage.Quote:

I've had the conversation with my boss and I hear things are happening, but it can't be soon enough. This along with next Tuesday's vacation snafu is leaving a very bad taste.Quote:
